How to Force Manual Start of Video

Yag

My video auto-starts and I prefer to start the complete video manually. I cannot find any feature that enables this functionality to be incorporated in the video clip.

Are you referring to the exported video as a DVD?

If so, it may play immediately in some players if you have not added a menu. So to prevent this happening add a menu to the export. The menu will then auto play and await your input. Depending on how you have set it up you can then click on the area or button you have designated in the menu to play your video.

If it's not this then can you clarify what you mean exactly by auto-starts?

Thanks Nat. The video is an exported video file (avi).

As Nat suggests, this is likely a function of the player, not Videopad.

For example, using MPC-HC here, setting the playback option to ZERO times loads the clip but does not auto-play.
